Regional Finance Policy

The HASSRA West Midlands Regional Finance Policy details how the West Midlands funds the regional programme and how members money is used. The policy also includes the rates members are able to claim for travelling to events, including subsistence if appropriate.

The Regional Finance Policy is available for all members to read:

For members attending regional events and claiming expenses, below are some top tips when submitting claims:

Do not pre-populate expenses claim forms in advance of the event. Always complete claim forms after the event when the expense has been incurred.
Take care when completing the claim to ensure all details are entered correctly, the correct amount is being claimed and ensure all supporting receipts are attached.
Treat the email acknowledgment from HASSRA Live following submission of the claim as an opportunity to double-check the validity of your claim.
If, following submission of your claim, you realise you have made an error on your claim form, contact us immediately using the Chat function on the HASSRA Live website.
All expenses claims which require a receipt must be attached to the online claim. Where there is no receipt provided, your claim will be rejected and you will not be eligible to be reimbursed for that part of the claim.
